Biased BBC

Friday, April 24, 2009 sue # Paxo needs Stuffing I’ve been away ‘avin a loverly time /wish you were ‘ere. Now I’m home there’s this backlog. Millions of comments and posts have accumulated. All I saw on telly last week was The Apprentice. The one who was fired was useless, but then so were the others. How on earth did they ever even get where they are today? But that’s not BBC bias. Something that appalled me was Jeremy Paxman. Honest Reporting has:“Newsnight of 20 April Jeremy Paxman interviewed the UK Ambassador to the UN in Geneva, Peter Gooderham following the walkout during Ahmadinejad's speech: Paxman: What is the difference between Zionism and racism? Gooderham: Well, we see the two as being quite distinct. We… Paxman: Yeah what's the difference? Gooderham: Zionism is a political movement relating to the establishment … Paxman: So are some forms of racism! Gooderham: …some form of homeland, a Jewish homeland in what is now Israel. Perhaps Paxman was playing Devil's Advocate in his usual style. However, is it a sign of the broader mindset within the BBC that finds it acceptable to ask questions such as "What is the difference between Zionism and racism?" View the footage and decide for yourself.” But the things that I thought were even more ridiculous were, 1, Paxo’s exaggerated facial expressions - comedy exasperation - and 2, the outrageously hypocritical question “Why didn’t you do him the courtesy of listening to him?” COURTESY? from Paxo the discourteous? Courtesy to Listen to AhMADinajad’s discourteously racist speech? Stuff you Paxo. Comments: 28 (unread) - Biased BBC Home
